Marchant is an unincorporated town in Sutter County. It is located west of the Feather River, north of Cunard, northwest of Ensley, and southwest of Robbins. Its elevation is 20 feet.
The native plant community of Marchant is valley grassland. This means that winter flooding, extremely dry summers, and soil that tends to be somewhat alkaline make it difficult for trees and shrubs to grow. However, grasses or grasslike plants are not necessarily the dominant plants either. Many types of herbaceous plants thrive in valley grassland.
The U.S. Postal Service sometimes lists addresses in Marchant as being in Robbins, because Marchant is in the 95645 zip code and Robbins is partly in it as well. However, on the Yuba-Sutter Wiki, we prefer listing the more specific location Marchant.
